This paper presents a system that generates Basque equivalents to terms that describe disorders in SNOMED CT. This task has been performed using Finite-State transducers and a medical prefixes and suffixes lexicon. This lexicon is composed of English-Basque translation pairs, and it is used both for the identification of the affixes of the English term and for the translation of them into Basque. The translated affixes are composed using morphotactic rules. We evaluated the system with a Gold Standard obtaining promising results (0.93 of precision). This system is part of a more general system which aim is the translation of SNOMED CT into Basque.
